Abraham was driving back home.

This is insane. I would've never thought a guy would fall for me in California. Especially the one who was a huge jerk to me in the beginning.

I mean what did I do to make him fall for me? Do I have genuine feelings for him? This is all confusing. At least I think I do.

"Alicia. Stop." I whipped my head towards Abraham.

"What?"

"Stop over thinking this. I don't want to pressure you into something that you are unsure of."

I stayed quite.

"I just had to tell you sooner rather than later." He sounded a little hurt.

"Don't think that I didn't like what happened back there. I liked it a lot." I said.

He looked at me and smiled.

"What happens next though? It's going to be awkward because you know....we live together." I said.

"I don't want to change anything between us. I want to act the same way as we did before. Okay?"

"I can live with that."

*********

We got home and it was obvious Ann was sleeping. All the lights were turned off.

We headed upstairs and Abraham walked me to my room.

"Another sleepover?" I asked.

"I kinda have to Alicia. I want to know your with me."

"Okay."

"Let me change and I'll be back." He went towards his room and that gave me a chance to change.

I changed into my shorts and tank top. I knew it was going to be a much warmer night since Abraham was sleeping with me.

I pulled my hair up and took off my makeup and my contacts. I immediately put my glasses on since I am as blind as a bat.

Abraham walked in wearing shorts and no shirt. Really.

"Cutie with the glasses. I almost forgot you wore glasses."

"I'm going to have to wear them more because I am running low on contacts."

He got in bed and motioned for me to get in.

I got in and faced him. We just stared at one another for quite awhile.

"Alicia, you are unbelievably beautiful. With no makeup and wearing glasses just gives you that natural beauty."

"Stop. You are making me blush." I hid under the comforter.

He pulled the comforter from my red face.

"I'm sorry." WOAH! Did he just apologize?!

"Is theee Abraham apologizing to me?" I said surprised.

He laughed. "I guess I am."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"I'm sorry I am such a jerk. I treated you like an outsider when I shouldn't of."

"That's in the past Abraham."

"Yeah but I always think how bad I treated you. And I know in the future I will again so just bare with me. Please."

"Okay." I said smiling. "I feel a little honored because you apologized."

He smiled.

"You should be."

I yawned.

"Now that's a sign that we should sleep."

"Okay." I got out of bed and turned off the light and closed the door.

I took off my glasses and set them on the bedside table. Once I got back in bed I was pulled immediately towards Abraham.

He turned my face towards his and gave me a kiss.

"One before I say goodnight." He said.

"That was a good goodnight." He wrapped his arm around me and we fell asleep holding one another.

********

I woke up with one thing on my mind. Abraham.

Since he confessed his liking for me I have been having all these possibilities in my head. Maybe we can date. I mean he said he likes me first so if things go down then the only person he can blame is himself for telling me he likes me. He started this.

Ugh! Why am I thinking of the aftermath of a breakup when we aren't even dating! I need to get it together.

I noticed Abraham wasn't with me. Which was a good thing since I was such a mess this morning. I can't tell him or give him the impression that his confession last night freaked me out. I need to see if he is here. If he's not I leave and if he is than I just play it cool.

I went towards his bedroom and seen that the door was open. He wasn't inside. Good.

I quickly went to my room and got ready to go do what I needed to do. Nails, toes, eyebrows.

I took a shower and dressed quickly. I decided to wear something that looks good but casual too.

I grabbed my purse and notified an Uber. I went downstairs and practically ran to the door.

My Uber was right in front. I hopped in and let out my held in breath. Whew!

I was immediately sat down for my pedicure. I haven't had my toes done since I left. They are in major need of care as for my nails.

I decided to go with black nails and toes. After my eyebrows were waxed I started to get nervous again.

It's 11:00 and I have nothing to do. I don't want to go home because I'm a coward but I do because I want to see Abraham.

I just have to admit that he has gotten to me. Maybe I like him a little. I mean he treated me so good yesterday. But am I ready to take on a relationship. I've never been in a relationship before....

That's what freaks me out. I am so new to this. Abraham is the first to actually genuinely tell me he likes me. I am only going to hurt him if I ignore him. I know that. Uggghhh!

I am so frustrated. I want to drink, heavily I might say.

I noticed a cool little place to drink when I was in the Uber. I started to walk towards that place. Only alcoholics go in search for a drink at 11:10. Whatever.

I opened the door to the bar and seen it was a kinda cool hang out spot.

I sat down and a waiter/bartender came towards me.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Something strong."

"Well I would suggest a shot but..."

"Yeah I'll take a shot."

"Hey Rob! We need an A.M.F over here! It'll take the edge off." He said smiling. "Anything to eat?"

"Something fried."

"Hhhmmm. Mozzarella sticks with potato skins?"

"Sounds like a party." I said hungry.

"Ah. Here comes your drink." I seen the drink coming it was blue and looked so good.

I grabbed the shot and clinked my glass with an invisible glass.

"Bottoms up." I said before downing the shot. "Whoooo." I shook my head. "I needed that."

The name of the shot is perfect. I realized that after I drank it.

I was already a little whoozy just with my first drink. Let's see where this afternoon takes me.

*********

"Oh yeah!" I screamed. I downed my fourth beer. "Julio take another shot with me!" I yelled to my waiter.

"Okay babe." He set up two shots and brought them my way. "What we say where I come from is 'Salud'." He brought his shot up to mine and we clinked.

"Salud baby!" I yelled. I downed my 5th shot and was feeling good. Too good if you know what I mean. "Bring me another beer Julio! You guys are babying me! I could go alllll niiight."

I finished my mozzarella sticks and potato skins far long ago. Oh is that a song I hear.....yup. It's a song. I stood up and started dancing.

"I've always loved Kanye or Yeezy.....hahahaha!!! Julio dance with me!"

"Coming baby!" He started to dance with me.

"Baby I'm glad your gay or else I know a somebody who wouldn't like this very much...hahahahahaaa!" I yelled.

"I'm a proud gay baby!"

I swayed to the music. Felling every word. I took a drink from my beer and was just thinking about Abraham. He really is a good kisser. Oh yeah. Too good.

I turned my head and seen an elderly couple watching me, smiling.

"Cuties! Come let's dance!"

I grabbed their hand and they were more than willing.

I turned the woman around and pretended to slap her butt.

"Oh dear!" She laughed. "Nobody's done that to me in years."

I danced with the elderly couple till they got tired.

Again I was by myself.

"Julio another one!"

"Oh no baby I think you should stop for the day. You could barely stand."

"Julio I am perfectly fine. Just having a good time."

"Babe your words are slurred up. I can't understand you."

I turned around quickly and fell on my ass!

"I think I'll take your advice Julio baby." He got me up and handed me my purse.

"Give me your phone and I'll call someone to pick you up."

"Call my boyfriend. Ab..(burp)..Abraham..."

"Okay." He sat me down while he called.

"Oh no. Julio. I'm going to get in trouble."

"He's on his way."

"Oh. Shit."
